Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y tells NPR that when it comes to the Green New Deal she would rather pass the nonbinding resolution than have a national conversation about Climate Change:
“I think the conversation that the Green New Deal sparked — like if I had to decide would I rather have the resolution passed or would I have rather preferred we start a national conversation about the urgency of the climate crisis — I would have chosen the latter every single time.”
